Dont you know, Democrats think non-whites are too dumb to figure out how to get a photo ID?

Still time for this to go on appeal to the PA Supreme Court.

I doubt they will put much effort into rushing it to the PA Supreme Court considering the law is upheld for the next election.

I`ll try to help those of you who don`t understand the intent of this law. Those without a photo ID do not have a drivers license or a car.The nearest DMV is 12 miles from the area where I live and it isn`t on a bus line. A long walk for anybody don`t you think?

give it up, republicans will maintain its to keep voter integrity and we will maintain its just to suppress voter fraud. nobody is going to move off their position.

How is it trying to steal an election by ensuring that only eligible voters vote? It is so simple to get a photo ID that people get it to buy cigarettes and beer. BTW the law was upheld, just not for Obama's election. I guess the judge figures if Obama can get ineligible voters and win, there won't be much need for elections in four years. We will be a third world nation by then.

Why? Because out of tens of millions of votes cast, there have only been 85 cases where people tried to vote for someone else. It would look as if the ID solution doesn't solve a problem -- but it does solve a different problem, getting people who ordinarily vote for Democrats not to vote.

Thats not shot down
It's been shot down for THIS election cycle, and what it was meant to do:

Pennsylvania House Majority Leader Mike Turzai (R) said that the voter ID law passed by the legislature would help deliver the state for Mitt Romney in November. "Voter ID, which is gonna allow Governor Romney to win the state of Pennsylvania, done,” said Turzai [at a Republican State Committee meeting in June.]

Poor Mitt can't buy OR steal this election...

Little misleading. Still, this was expected from the Judge's comments.
Correct, it will be in effect after this election. The only thing they arguing about this point wasn;t whether it was legal but the implementation. Frankly with the steps PA took I'm not so sure what else they could have done.
